Yes please. Audi USA Parts (AKA Sunset Imports in Beaverton, OR) does cost + 15% which is better than anybody for OE parts.

Default Agreed...

The other typical ones are Genuine Audi Parts (aka the San Diego dealer) and Jim Ellis Audi Parts in Atlanta. AudiUSAParts though doesn't charge sales tax (since there is none in OR anyway), while it is relevant when in CA for GAP. Ellis prices higher but pulled their prices closer to the others from more recent searches. Better choice shipping wise perhaps for folks in Southeast. Both AudiUSA Parts and GAP use the same software (as does most anyone else apparently), but uniquely Jim Ellis paid the apparent big bucks for a display license for EKTA so has truer to conventional parts dealer diagrams. Sometimes I use their diagrams, but always buy from AudiUSAParts given both pricing and shipping proximity.

Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate the feedback, and I’ll be sure to add Audi USA Parts to the list. Will update that thread when I’ve done so, but in addition to adding vendors I may have missed, please let me know if there are any that should be removed, as well.

Don’t have many opportunities to mention the tool here since I’m more active in BMW circles, but had some users who wanted to see it available for Audi parts, as well. If it’s worthy of attention, please share it and I'm always open to feedback on ways to make it better.

Apologize for the slight threadjack.

Edit: Have updated the program to include Audi USA Parts, as well as several other forum classifieds sections. Thx

I replaced all of my upper and lower control arms with Moog on my '04 A8 L. I am a bit concerned now and hope they don't fail anytime soon.
